Of the 15 most popular premium brand autos in America in February 2017, only five were cars.

Among the most popular $50K+ vehicles – a group led by the Mercedes-Benz GLE – there were only four cars: two Benzes, one BMW, and the Chevrolet Corvette. Joining the Corvette in the top 15 were two other GM SUVs.

U.S. auto sales fell 1% in February 2017, pulled down in part by declines at Lexus, Acura, Volvo, Land Rover, and Cadillac.

Plenty of less expensive vehicles with specific models feature prices above $50,000 – M, RS, and AMG models come to mind, specifically – but in the case of the second list, we know that none of the registrations were of cars priced below that borderline.
